+1 for the minimise function. Also, @MarkShuttleworth is wrong when he says "clicking on the icon ALWAYS ensures you SEE the app.".
e.g. If you elect to have windows focus when the mouse moves over them (very useful trad. GNU feature) then here's what happens: 1. You have -say- firefox open, but another window is covering all of it except perhaps a tiny left edge. You want to use firefox. 2. Unity Launcher is correctly displaying an indicator of the current Other App. You move your mouse over to the launcher intent on clicking the firefox icon, but on your way focus is given to firefox because you cross the edge of the window. By the time you arrive at the launcher, it thinks firefox has focus, so clicking on it does NOTHING. IMHO, clicking a unity launcher icon should not just FOCUS, but FOCUS and RAISE. That way, what Mark says, which I suspect the intended behaviour, will be true. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize windows upon clicking application's launcher -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
